Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee Connectivity
- Bluetooth: Connects with smart devices via Bluetooth and has a range of approximately 10 meters.
- Wi-Fi: Connects with smart devices via Wi-Fi network. Supported by smartphone.
- Zigbee: Wireless data transmission protocol used for two-way communication between devices. Two-way communication means that each device can receive and send a signal. The system was created in 2002 by the ZigBee Alliance, which continues to be involved in its development and promotion. The main feature of the new communication standard is low power consumption and simple construction at low cost. This has been achieved and is now a fact. It has a range of approximately 15 meters.
What is a Smart Hub?
The Smart Hub is a device that serves as a central control point for your smart home devices. It typically connects to the internet and uses wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee to communicate with other smart devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.
The smart hub can be controlled via a smartphone app, a web interface, or even through voice commands using a virtual assistant like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It can also automate actions based on user preferences, such as turning on the lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat based on the time of day.
One of the advantages of using it is that it allows for easier control and automation of multiple devices from a single interface.
Overall, a Smart Hub can help simplify the management of a "smart home" and enhance the user experience.
Advantages of a Smart Hub
A smart hub is a device that connects multiple smart devices in your home and allows you to control them from a central location. Some of the advantages include:
Convenience: You can control many smart devices from a central point, such as a smartphone or tablet, making your life easier.
Time-saving: You can control multiple devices simultaneously and schedule various actions, such as automatic temperature control in your home, allowing you to save time.
Increased security: With the smart hub, you can monitor your security cameras and alarm devices, enabling you to enhance the security of your home.
Cost-saving: With the ability to control lighting and thermostats remotely, you can save money on your bills.
How does it help me make my home smarter?
- Remote Control: With the smart hub, you can control your smart home remotely using your mobile phone or computer. This allows you to manage your home even when you are not there.
- Energy Saving: The smart hub can coordinate your devices and help save energy. For example, it can control your smart lights and turn them off automatically when they are not needed.
- Automation: Automation is a key factor in the operation of a smart home, and smart hub devices significantly contribute to creating automations. This may include setting up automatic rules for turning devices on and off, adjusting the home's temperature, setting the lighting, and much more. Automation helps you save time, reduce energy costs, and make your life easier. A smart hub can facilitate the creation of automations in your smart home as it acts as a central controller for your various devices. It can connect your devices and coordinate their functions using built-in sensors and other technologies. It can also work with other smart home systems, such as smart locks or smart cameras.
What should I consider before buying a Smart Hub?
- Compatibility: Ensure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with the devices you have in your home. Check the smart hub's specifications and make sure it supports your devices.
- Platform: Ensure that the smart hub supports the software platform you wish to use. Some smart hubs use different platforms, so make sure you have the right platform for the smart hub you want to purchase.
- Security: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has good security practices and is updated for the latest security threats. Smart hubs are connected to the internet and can be targets for malicious attackers.
- Features: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has all the functionalities you need.
Skroutz tips
We took care and learned for you!
According to user opinions and tips:
- If you plan to listen to music, e.g., in the living room, it is clearly preferable to choose it over its "smaller sibling," the echo dot, due to its limited speaker capability.
- It does not accept commands in Greek, only in English. For brevity in commands, you can create routines (e.g., "Alexa, lights on" instead of "Alexa, living room lights on" etc.). This is particularly helpful if you live with someone who does not know English well.
- It must always be plugged in (it does not charge).
- Not all functions are available in Greece, at least for now.

With closed eyes, you go and get it. With a full smart home logic, 2 echo dots, and as a "master" the echo 4th gen, I am more than satisfied. Also, a significant upgrade in sound. No comparison to the dots if someone wants it for music.

The only issue it has is that it has limitations in some skills, but this is not a device issue but an Amazon issue. Of course, if you dig a little, you can pass almost anything to it

Nice speaker. I have the feeling that the microphone is not perfect. Also, a problem is that even though it supports ziegbie protocol, it practically works with very few gadgets. This is not a problem of the Echo itself, but keep it in mind if you choose this specific Echo for ziegbie support
